CARTERS' 



NEW METHOD IN THE SELECTION OF 



ROOT CROPS FOR SEED. 



AN IMPORTANT DEPARTURE FOR 



THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, 



We have installed our analyst's laboratory with a combination of apparatus which 

 has never previously been tried, including some of the most highly finished and perfect 

 instruments obtainable, either in this country or on the Continent. By these means 

 we are enabled to make analyses of the Roots reserved for Seed, without destroying 

 them for planting purposes, a test which gives to those Roots surviving the ordeal a 

 standard of quality unapproachable by those selected by any other conceivable method. 



Carters' New Method of Root Selection 



EMBODIES THE FOLLOWING TESTS :— 



The Specific Gravity of the Entire Root.— This is a guide to its keeping quality. 



The Specific Gravity of the Juice of the Flesh.— This is a guide to its feeding quality. 



The Percentage of Water is ascertained and diminished by selection. 



The Quantity of Saccharine Matter and other Digestible Solids are ascer- 

 tained and increased. 



The Quantity of Indigestible Dry Matter is diminished.
